When we bind an AF_UNIX socket without a name specified, the kernel selects
an available one from 0x00000 to 0xFFFFF. unix_autobind() starts searching
from a number in the 'static' variable and increments it after acquiring
two locks.
If multiple processes try autobind, they obtain the same lock and check if
a socket in the hash list has the same name. If not, one process uses it,
and all except one end up retrying the _next_ number (actually not, it may
be incremented by the other processes). The more we autobind sockets in
parallel, the longer the latency gets. We can avoid such a race by
searching for a name from a random number.
These show latency in unix_autobind() while 64 CPUs are simultaneously
autobind-ing 1024 sockets for each.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
